We did some rescue training on Castle Tower today.  There is still some snow on top the Dragon’s Back.  The route on the right side above is dry.  The descent down the left side is also dry but there is still a lot of snow in the gully to deal with when you cross over while descending.  In other words, the route is doable but not in perfect condition.  Brewer’s also looks doable but there is a lot of snow on top and also in the descent gully.  I would not recommend this .  Looking down, the Dave Thompson Crag looks dry.
